| 3 Joints That Beat Bad Weather |
|
|
| While you can’t do much about the weather, you can build projects that last. The secret is to use joinery that defies the elements. Three such joints (the very same ones we used in our porch project) are presented here. Specifically, they are a locking rabbet joint for the cladding on the posts, an open mortise and tenon joint for the mid-caps, and a scarf joint for the fascia and skirt boards (Illustration, right). Each of these joints is explained in the videos on this page. | ||
